Psalm 58
New International Version
Psalm 58[a]
For the director of music. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” Of David. A miktam.[b]
1 Do you rulers indeed speak justly?(A)
Do you judge people with equity?
2 No, in your heart you devise injustice,(B)
and your hands mete out violence on the earth.(C)
3 Even from birth the wicked go astray;
from the womb they are wayward, spreading lies.
4 Their venom is like the venom of a snake,(D)
like that of a cobra that has stopped its ears,
5 that will not heed(E) the tune of the charmer,(F)
however skillful the enchanter may be.
6 Break the teeth in their mouths, O God;(G)
Lord, tear out the fangs of those lions!(H)
7 Let them vanish like water that flows away;(I)
when they draw the bow, let their arrows fall short.(J)
8 May they be like a slug that melts away as it moves along,(K)
like a stillborn child(L) that never sees the sun.
9 Before your pots can feel the heat of the thorns(M)—
whether they be green or dry—the wicked will be swept away.[c](N)
10 The righteous will be glad(O) when they are avenged,(P)
when they dip their feet in the blood of the wicked.(Q)
11 Then people will say,
“Surely the righteous still are rewarded;(R)
surely there is a God who judges the earth.”(S)

Psalmet 58
Albanian Bible
58 A flisni pikërisht sipas drejtësisë ju, o të fuqishëm? A gjykoni ju drejt, o bij të njerëzve?
2 Në zemrën tuaj ju bluani përkundrazi të keqen; duart tuaja përhapin dhunën mbi tokë.
3 Këta të pabesë janë prishur që në barkun e nënës; këta gënjeshtarë kanë marrë rrugë të keqe që në lindje.
4 Helmi i tyre i ngjan helmit të gjarprit; janë si gjarpri helmues i shurdhër që i zë veshët e vet,
5 për të mos dëgjuar zërin e magjistarëve apo të atij që është i aftë të bëjë magji.
6 O Perëndi, thyej dhëmbët e tyre në gojë; o Zot, thyej dhëmbët e luanëve.
7 U shkrifshin si uji që rrjedh. Kur gjuan shigjetat e tij, ato u bëfshin si shigjeta pa majë.
8 U bëfshin si kërmilli që shkrihet ndërsa po shkon; si dështimi i gruas mos pafshin diellin.
9 Para se tenxheret tuaja të ndjejnë zjarrin e ferrishteve, qofshin këto të blerta apo të ndezura, ai do t’i heqë tutje si një vorbull.
10 I drejti do të gëzohet duke parë hakmarrjen; do të lajë këmbët në gjakun e të pabesit.
11 Dhe njerëzia do të thotë: "Me siguri ka një shpërblim për të drejtin; me siguri ka një Perëndi që gjykon mbi tokë".
詩篇 58
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
祈求上帝懲罰惡人
大衛作的詩,交給樂長,調用「休要毀壞」。
58 你們做官長的主持公道嗎?
你們的審判公正嗎?
2 不,你們心中圖謀不義,
你們在地上行兇作惡。
3 惡人生下來就步入歧途,
一出母胎就離開正道,
謊話連篇。
4 他們像噴出毒液的毒蛇,
又像耳聾的眼鏡蛇,
5 任法師的邪術再高超,
也聽不見他的咒語。
6 上帝啊,求你敲碎他們的牙齒;
耶和華啊,
求你拔掉這些猛獅的利齒。
7 願他們如流水逝去,
願他們彎弓搭箭時箭頭折斷。
8 願他們像蝸牛一樣溶為爛泥,
又如流產的胎兒不見天日。
9 刹那間,
荊棘還沒有把鍋燒熱的工夫,
上帝必除滅他們。
10 義人必因惡人遭報而歡欣,
並用惡人的血洗腳。
11 這樣,人們必說:
「義人終有善報,
確實有一位審判天下的上帝。」
Psalm 58
New King James Version
The Just Judgment of the Wicked
To the Chief Musician. Set to [a]“Do Not Destroy.” A Michtam of David.
58 Do you indeed speak righteousness, you silent ones?
Do you judge uprightly, you sons of men?
2 No, in heart you work wickedness;
You weigh out the violence of your hands in the earth.
3 (A)The wicked are estranged from the womb;
They go astray as soon as they are born, speaking lies.
4 (B)Their poison is like the poison of a serpent;
They are like the deaf cobra that stops its ear,
5 Which will not (C)heed the voice of charmers,
Charming ever so skillfully.
6 (D)Break[b] their teeth in their mouth, O God!
Break out the fangs of the young lions, O Lord!
7 (E)Let them flow away as waters which run continually;
When he bends his bow,
Let his arrows be as if cut in pieces.
8 Let them be like a snail which melts away as it goes,
(F)Like a stillborn child of a woman, that they may not see the sun.
9 Before your (G)pots can feel the burning thorns,
He shall take them away (H)as with a whirlwind,
As in His living and burning wrath.
10 The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the (I)vengeance;
(J)He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked,
11 (K)So that men will say,
“Surely there is a reward for the righteous;
Surely He is God who (L)judges in the earth.”
